My requirements are for less than 20 amp, so I thought I would use the 32 amp model for a 50% reserve. My local M/C electrician suggested using the 40 amp regulator as it is a later design and of more rugged construction than the smaller units. He also said to avoid the 3 phase systems as they have reliability issues. www.choppercycles.com also list a 'heavy duty' rotor with a beefed up center section.
